“You can't be envious and happy at the same time”
I have let the terribly blight of envy touch my heart. Times have been difficult. Stagnation has me worried. And I have observed the blessings of others, only to blacken my mood. It is time to stop counting their blessings and start counting my own. I do not have enough money to buy every fancy toy in the world, but I have friends and family that are worth more to me than anything money could buy. Jeff has been like a brother, and has enough faith in my dreams and aspirations to help me along my way, allowing me to stay at his place and eat anything as though it were home while I was setting up shop. Jordan saw that I was struggling during the summer and offered me a PA gig on the film he was on, knowing of my great interest in the industry. Omar has been my constant companion through thick and thin, and is a positive influence through actions and words. Case's family helped me during the Triathlon and provided me with a very nice bike to use that was owned by the father. Jaie is a constant mentor in my pursuit for writing. My cousins deal with my absurd behavior and help me out even when it would be an inconvenience to themselves. The list is endless... from the smallest gestures to the greatest endeavors of trust, I have replaced the thought of success with what truly matters, with things that don't hardly matter at all.
To reciprocate these acts of loyalty and faith, I must demand... of myself... to live to my full potential. However... potential can never be reached. In my eyes it can become limitless, a cap can only be placed upon yourself by yourself. So first things first, I must stop comparing myself with others. No matter what, there is someone with more of everything. More money. More friends. More books and lolly pops. Who gives a damn. We entered this world with our hands empty, and we shall leave with them empty.
Wow... that really made me feel so much better!
I am rewriting my story which was supposed to be put online a few days ago, but I have to polish it up.
Mike Kelly is going to be on television tonight! How wild!??!
Things are possible.
